wow look at that a Shimano 105 crank arm. wait whats this? its the power meter arm. The second most expensive part on the bike. it is a valuable tool and it has apple find my built in. too bad I can put on the bosch and compare the two.

so cute. 36 26. got the frame today too, but I had to rush to trek for them to install the headset and cut the tube.

no the motor feels good but with all the rain I ride in can cause issues. Best case I will have a backup bike and a new battery. but it may be time to just have a e tandem and the trek for casual use.

Totally get it — riding year-round in Portland rain will wear on anything. If the motor still feels good, a backup bike + a fresh battery sounds like a solid “peace of mind” plan. And honestly, keeping the Trek for casual rides and letting the tandem be the fun project feels like the right call.

kinda sad kinda cool to be able to throw a bike box away.

I was going to and forgot I had to run the frame to trek to put the headset in before they closed. I forgot I needed to take the riser off my other bike to do it so it was a scramble to get there in time. pea lime soup.

That looks like a great color. Is it a matte finish?

yes. re ingured my torl muscles in my arm and shoulder pushing my bag back on my back so it will slow me down.

I have this Rock Shox fork that is on my donor bike. I don't know if I will need it. but he trucker has a 45-degree offset and the rock shox 46 will this make a difference? the bad part is I would lose the through axle.

It might be better to try the factory fork and see if you need to replace it first. You won't be riding at ebike speeds.
